If you want to play with any of these lens descriptions (or look at code for simulating them), I made a free and open source visual web UI for lens design. The default project when you visit it is a double gauss lens similar to the one shown in the article.

Is there a framework or template base for these kind of (usually scientific) demonstration apps? It’s a common design language of inputs and output that I’ve seen in many pages, often self-explanatory. I like it.


Thanks. I did not use any frameworks/libraries/dependencies for this project. It's vanilla JavaScript/HTML/CSS from scratch. The general concept of a spreadsheet-like data editor next to a visual view is a standard paradigm in commercial lens design software like Quadoa/OSLO/CODE V.


I absolutely love this, and the development philosophy. Nice work!


Took a look and I'm impressed how easy it is to use. Thanks for sharing this.


amazing tool - thanks for sharing
